Calling all thinkers: as part of the Karl Marx Festival running from Oct. 17 to 28, Skirball will host quirky Slovenian philosopher and NYU Global Distinguished Professor of German, Slavoj Zizek. The night will be dedicated to a discussion of a Marxist view of the commons — a collection of spaces shared by the public rather than owned by the individual — and how it applies to the current digital age. The discourse will continue with an analysis of late Marx theorist and Soviet politician Leon Trotsky’s execution of the October Revolution and its links to Marxism. This rare opportunity to probe the mind of a fascinating, prolific philosopher is one that beckons to be seized.
